Yup. I understand the point... was aiming to a first quick solution.

Ok - I'm talking about this with the upstream author, he tells me he does depend on the specific version of JQuery that he is shipping (somewhat lower than Debian's); he's trying to allow for an upgrade, but has not yet resolved the issue. Right now, Álvaro (adding him Cc:ed) is searching for the uncompressed sources for the specific versions he is including; is it agreeable for the ftpmasters for me to upload it as a Debian-specific patch now? I'm asking Álvaro to ship the sources as part of his sources starting next version (mainly to avoid version drift between the patch I'll put in and the real version included)... But I understand he will have to weigh it with the rest of the project members. Greeteings,
